Only 9% of Americans say that Obamacare has improved their health insurance situation. Let that sink in for a momentâ¦less than 1 in 10.
from USA Today:
About one in 10 Americans â 9% â say The Affordable Care Act has improved their health insurance situation in the past year, according to a new survey by Bankrate.com.
The telephone survey asked a representative sample of 1,001 Americans about their knowledge of and feelings about the law that mandates health care insurances for all Americans in coming years.
The survey was conducted from Oct. 17 to 20 after a 16-day federal government shutdown over raising the debt limit ended and the bungled launching of health exchange websites nationwide.
In fact, 38% of uninsured Americans said they feel more negative about the three-year-old law than they did the past year. And 47% of the uninsured say they donât even know where to turn for information on the act. Uninsured Americans make up about 15% of the population
Doug Whiteman, a Bankrate.com insurance analyst, says the numbers show the government outreach efforts havenât gone far enough.
"It is discouraging that there is so much pessimism (around Obamacare)," he said. "The law is over three years old and so many people arenât getting the information."...
